C.h. Hanson 20741Y Steel Letter Y Stamp 1/32 Inch

Product Description

The C.H. HANSON 20741Y is an individual machine-made steel letter stamp designed for permanent character marking on metal, wood, plastic, and similar workpiece surfaces. The stamp produces a raised impression of the letter Y at a character size of 1/32 inch (0.8 mm nominal), making it suited for fine detail marking and part identification work. The stamp body measures 2.13 inches in length and 0.25 inches in width, with an overall height of 25 mm, giving a comfortable grip surface for single-blow hammer strikes. Licensed machinists, tool-and-die workers, metal fabricators, and maintenance mechanics commonly use individual character stamps like this one for serializing parts, marking tooling, and stamping identification codes.

This stamp is intended for bench or field use wherever permanent alphanumeric marking is required. It is sold as a single character unit, allowing technicians and fabricators to build custom stamp sets or replace a single worn character without purchasing a full set. Typical applications include stamping part numbers on manufactured components, marking tooling and fixtures, and imprinting identification on castings or machined surfaces. The compact form factor suits both production line marking stations and portable field kits.

Key Features

• Machine-made steel construction for consistent character impression depth and durability
• 1/32 inch character size suited for fine-detail part marking and tight-tolerance identification work
• Individual stamp sold as a single character, enabling set customization or single-piece replacement
• 2.13-inch body length provides adequate striking surface for hammer-driven use
• Compact 0.25-inch width minimizes spacing between adjacent characters during sequential stamping

Compatibility

Designed as a standard individual letter stamp compatible with conventional hand-stamp marking applications on metal, plastic, and wood substrates where a 1/32 inch character size is specified.

Installation Notes

Steel letter stamps are used by machinists, fabricators, and maintenance personnel and require no special licensing or code compliance for general marking use. Secure the workpiece firmly before striking to prevent movement and ensure a clean impression. Strike the stamp squarely with a ball-peen or engineer's hammer using a single firm blow to avoid double impressions. Inspect the stamp face periodically for wear or chipping that could degrade mark quality.
